WHY?

Why are some people just so damn negative? Why do they feel the need to point out all the flaws in something? You want to know why *I* think they do it? Because they are miserable in their own life and want to bring everybody down with them. What brings this on? Well I stopped talking to what WAS a really good friend, when we got our first set of orders to Alaska (which got cancelled a few months later). Why? Because when, as my good friend, she was supposed to be HAPPY for me, she had nothing but negative things to say. We have wanted to go to Alaska since before we got to SC (where I met her), and we've never been shy about disliking SC. So why did it come as a surprise that we were THRILLED to be going? It shouldn't have. So why were her first words "have you really thought about this?" followed by "it's gonna be really cold, and night time all the time". So I slowly distanced myself from all that negativity. And now we don't talk at all. But when i posted a link to weather.com about the weather in Guam she again had negative things to say, "it rains a lot". So because I don't want or need all that crap i deleted the messages from my facebook page. She figured it out. And posted this on HER status:
WOW. I am finding it hard to believe that some people can't tell the whole truth, and would simply prefer to delete my comments that tell the WHOLE truth about their situation. deleting comments that reflect the NEGATIVE is stupid and childish. I'd post this on their wall, but they'd probably just delete it anyways. i...'m sorry if you're regretting your choice, but that's not my fault
SOOO. i responded with this:
sorry to say it has nothing to do with regretting our choice, we're still thrilled. and i deleted the comments because everything u post is so negative, i don't need that. its not childish, childish is starting a fight on facebook and airing the whole thing to the world. i keep my mouth shut when u post things i could say negative things about. theres no need for it. if u have a problem with the things i say, feel free to unfriend me. i really don't understand why u care so much, if we're wrong and hate it, then i guess u win, right? cuz that seems to be what u want, for us to be unhappy.
She then replied with this:
you mean you're thrilled to be giving up one if your dogs(i thought they were like family)? thrilled to have given up your horse? thrilled with brown snakes and nothing to do...thrilled to death right?
i just like how you never mention anything that might suck. it's not just my comments that have been erased, it's anything that might be construde ... See Moreas "negative" (i caught the one about the dogs, a question i didn't ask). i'd just hate that you're sugar coating it to everyone else, it's not like they can't look up the damn rainfall on the weather channel.i'm not being negative, just honest.
Just so you all know, we're taking ALL 3 dogs to Guam with us. There is LOTS to do on the island. I can live with the rain. Snakes suck, but its a small price. I AM aware of the downfalls, by why focus on them? Guess I'm a bit more glass half full than she is. So, in the end I un-friended her and won't be seeing anymore of her BS. What do you think? Was she out of line? Was I? Despite what she said, I DO appreciate honesty, but I DON'T think that's what she was giving me. She's stuck in this $hithole town, so she's unhappy to see somebody get what they want, which in Brad's and my case is OUT of SC!! OK I think I'm done.
